Why Worry - Dire Straits

Ahora solo escribo cuando me conmuevo mucho, tengo los dedos trabados, la mente lenta y las ideas ateridas y repetitivas. Tengo mucho tiempo en la vida y aún me falta, hay días buenos y otros no tanto, correr sigue siendo necesario pero detenerse también lo es.
Deja este tema flotando un rato, será solo un momento y luego la vida sigue,es como un poco de calor en el abandono, o como dos manos firmes en tu cabeza para llamarte a la calma.
Son momentos necesarios y necesariamente cortos.
Y ya siento que los dedos se me aflojaron un poco. Es que si bien no me conmuevo mucho, tampoco es que he cambiado tanto.

Baby I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into grey
Why worry, there should be laughter after the pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Baby when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn't hard to say
But baby just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunsh ine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

Once upon a time in the west - Dire Straits

Esta es pura melomanía.
La tengo en la cabeza desde una madrugada en la playa, una situación de asalto nocturno y varias veces borracho. Incluso de mañana tranquila y de análisis musical pretencioso.
Son los primeros temas largos que no me aburren. Una buena salida a la canción pop de 3 minutos.
Cierra los ojos. Borra la mente. Y a volar lejos.

Some people get a cheap laugh breaking up the speed limit
Scaring the pedestrians for a minute
Crossing up progress driving on the grass
Leaving just enough room to pass
Sunday driver never took a test
Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west

Yes its no use saying that you dont know nothing
Its still gonna get you if you dont do something
Sitting on a fence thats a dangerous course
Oh, you could even catch a bullet from the peace-keeping
force
Even the hero gets a bullet in the chest
Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west

Mother mary your children are slaughtered
Some of you mothers ought to lock up your daughters
Whos protecting the innocenti
Heap big trouble in the land of plenty
Tell me how were gonna do whats best
You guess once upon a time in the west
Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west

Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west
Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west
Once upon a time in the west

Romeo and Juliet - Dire Straits

Quería hablar de otra cosa... y me salió esto. No tengo más palabras, por hoy fue suficiente.
Cuanto lo recuerdo.

A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsus serenade
Laying everybody low with me a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it ?

Juliet says hey its romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack
Hes underneath the window shes singing hey la my boyfriends back
You shouldnt come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it ?

Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded in my heart
And I forget the movie song
When you wanna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet ?

Come up on differents streets they both were streets of shame
Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals ?

Where you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything you promised me think and thin
Now you just says oh romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him

Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above Ill love you till I die
Theres a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet ?

I cant do the talk like they talk on tv
And I cant do a love song like the way its meant to be
I cant do everything but Id do anything for you
I cant do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All do is keep the beat and bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Julie Id do the stars with you any time

Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above Ill love you till I die
Theres a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet ?

A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsus serenade
Laying everybody low with me a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it ?

Sultans of swing - Dire Straits

Bieeeen, ya tenemos las mañas un poco mejor conocidas, y todo salió OK, claro que no hay margen para exceso en autoalabanza, pero andamos. Ergo somos. Ergo vivimos.
Salud al Grande por su confianza, tiene razón cuando dice que soy un tipo demasiado afortunado. Y aunque las vacas flacas ya van a llegar, intentaré que esto dure lo más posible.
Dicen que en la victoria es cuando se debe recordar a los seres queridos, y va para ellos, los lejanos y los cercanos. Va por vos. Es poquita cosa pero es un fruto.
Y fuimos sultanes del swing.

You get a shiver in the dark
It's raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
You feel alright when you hear that music ring

You step inside but you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Too much competition too many other places
But not too many horns can make that sound
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town

You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
And an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright
He can play honky tonk just like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing

And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
The don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they call rock and roll
And the Sultans played Creole

And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
'Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home'
and he makes it fast whith one more thing
'We are the Sultans of Swing'

Your latest trick - Dire Straits

Qué momentos de mal humor de nuevo... cualquier intento de controlar mis acciones provoca en cascada, tanto un momento embarazoso como la consecuente repulsión y rabia... casi ni me puedo controlar y estoy en esos momentos de odio y conflicto. Por eso estoy lejos de ella, siempre logra en mi el mismo efecto y no voy a soportarlo más.
Esta melodía me fascina desde hace años, nunca tuve el disco (Brothers in arms) por mala suerte, y por malos entendidos: siempre le di demasiado valor al edulcorado Money for Nothing y no me parecía un gran disco. Pero lo es.
15 años después de eso, lo reivindico, y reinvidico también el rock-soft melódico de estos ingleses, que es meláncolico, profundo y virtuoso.
Pero por un carajo... que ganas de apretarte el cuello me provocas a veces... Que sea tu último truco por favor.

All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
And prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the city to themselves
Echoes roars dinosaurs
They're all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis and the whores
Are only taking calls for cash
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
My door was standing open
Security was laid back and lax
But it was only my heart got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane
And you never did have the intelligence to use
The twelve keys hanging off my chain
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
Now it's past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
And we're standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But now all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
